HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LEARNING FROM PROSECUTORS TODAY -- WHEN TAMMY JO BLANTON WAS KILLED -- AN AUTOPSY WAS PERFORMED -- INCLUDING A RAPE KIT. THOSE RESULTS FROM THE KIT -- JUST CAME BACK. ACCORDING TO NEW COURT DOCUMENTS -- EVIDENCE FOUND ON BLANTON IS INDICATIVE OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE -- PROMPTING PROSECUTORS TO FILE A RAPE CHARGE. ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS AGO -- POLICE SAY OBERHANSLEY STABBED AND KILLED BLANTON INSIDE HER JEFFERSONVILLE HOME. WE'RE TOLD HE MUTILATED HER BODY AND REMOVED SOME OF HER ORGANS. OBERHANSLEY IS NOW FACING MURDER, BURGLARY AND RAPE CHARGES. PROSECUTORS ARE SEEKING THE DEATH PENALTY. Reporter: "What was her family's reaction to this news?" Jeremy Mull: "I don't think they were surprised. The family has been understanding of the process. I just they are devastated by the events that have occurred but they've been very brave." PROSECUTORS SAY A FEW THINGS IN THIS CASE COULD HELP THEM GET THE DEATH PENALTY FOR OBERHANSLEY -- THE FIRST -- THEY SAY THE INTENTIONAL MURDER HAPPENED DURING THE COURSE OF A BURGLARY. THE SECOND -- BLANTON'S BODY WAS DISMEMBERED. AND NOW LASTLY -- AUTHORITIES SAY BLANTON WAS RAPED BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED. CHRISTINA MORA WLKY
